How California was Saved from the
English.

EmSlhSns
General Fremont in an interview in the
Boston Herald, tells this story Of how
California was prevented from becoming
and English colony:
"It was back early in the fourties, that
I considered that problem, and when the
historian, Geo. Bancroft, was Secretary OF
the Navy, I had frequent consultations
with him and Senator Benton, and il was
understood that l was to prevent the
English from anticipating us in securing
that country. Off the coast of California
the British feet was closely watching our
fleet, and in 1916, three years before the
famous '49ers' possessed the land, l or.
ganized a band of picked, hardy men, and
soon weeded out every man that was not
thoroughly reliable. They would follow
me anywhere. / moved to Monterey and
camped there. For q while l was tolerated,
but soon, through British intrigue, the
Government Of Mexico orderded its mill
tary force to drive me out. l fortified,
and, knowing the secret understanding
with high officials at Washington, l was
inclined to hold my ground, but they
came down In such numbers and got me
in such q moi place., tnat WDen tne Wipu
blew down my flag I said, boys, I guess
we will accept this as an omen that we are
TO get out of this and SO we retreated
up toward the north. l was soon over
taken by a Government agent, and en-
couraged by what he communicated, l in
stantly turned. Though hindered by
some OF the worst Indians on that coast,
1 hurried back. going into the disputed
country. When I got down as far as
Monterey, but away inland, l raised the
American flag and took possession OF
California for the United States. Com.
mander Sloat sailed into the harbor OF
Monterey, and hearing that I had planted
the American flag near him he raised it
over Monterey, ~supposing that l had
acted by express orders Of the Govern
ment. Admiral Seymour coming into
Monterey informed Commodore Sloat OF
the real condition of things. and said to
him that in three days the English would
have had their flags over Monterey II they
had not been anticipated. The Commo'
dore, fearing censure, gave up his com
mand on that coast; but the deed was done,
and our hold on California became per.

a Terrible Cyclone.
GALVESTON, Sept. ga News
Brownsville special says: A cyclone
visited Brownsville last night, carrying
destruction in it's path. The rain &C
companying the storm deluged the
country for a mile. The loss to prop
erty and crops is very great. Thus
far, no lives are reported lost. The
village of Santa Cruz, opposite Browns
vile, was submerged for several hours.
The Rio Grande rose rapidly and ragged
like a sea, the backwater overlooking
many miles of fertile country. The
wind reached a velocity of over eighty
miles an hour, blowing a perfect hur-
ricane for a couple ofhours. The rain
fall during last night by actual meas
urement reached ten inches. The
floods did almost as much damage as
the wind. In Brownsville seventy
small houses were blown down and
three hundred others partially I'M
rooted. In Matamoras dozens OF
houses of the better class andtwo hun
dred smaller ones were Frustrated,
while 400 to 500 others are unroofed.
In the country, on the American side
of the river, incalculable damage is
done. Countless cattle and sheep have
been lost. Crops of cotton, corn, and
sugar cane are completely Frustrated
and destroyed.

Something About Rata.

II is difficult to lay down fixed rules for
the diet OF bats, as, while some eat in
sects, they have been seen TO neglect this
food, as IL were, and attack their own kind
or weaker species. Mr.. Fraser, a natural
list, who travelled extensively in Ecuador,
describes one that went fishing, diving
down to the surface Of the water and pick
ing up small crustaceans which were
swimming near the surface. This bat,
according to the same authority, is very
affectionate. Referring to two kept as
pets, he says: "They were social, though
both were males, usually hanging side by
side. Sometimes they brought their faces
together and licked each others open
mouths in a most singular manner"
One of the most hideous Of California
bats is the American nose leafed bat. 1t
has enormous ear and a diabolical face,
and is believed by the average Mexican to
be a vampire of the worst kind and to at
tack men and horses Unfortunately;
but, like other stories, II is difficult to
prove, the bat living upon insects as a
rule. The story of the vampire has been
denied and affirmed DO many times that
much confusion exists regarding It, and
in Mexico q large number Of bats are
termed vampires without reason.-Pasa-
dena Cor. Atlanta Constitution.

The Grandest EolIan Harp.

The grandest Eolian harp in all the

from the north and west with the fierce
ness and force Of a blizzard, strikes thems
The notes are by no means thin, nor are
they modulated to the diatonic state.
They are, nevertheless, grand, W in
spring, and musical. They are all Of
the basso profundi o~rder-hoarse, solemn,
deep. But IL the ear be not dulled by the
voices Of the suspender ropes, nor OF the
mighty cables, IL al detect, coming from
the telegraph, telephone and electric
light wires beneath, trebles that are in
sol with the great organ like
sounds of the entire structure. IL is worth
a visit TO the platforms, even in q storm,

music that comes from the harp like cords
Of the bridge.-Brooklyn Standard Union.

Fancy Umbrella Covers.

Every woman viii say that an umbrella
cover il q ''horrid nuisance" IL she says
anything about it, and she IL very likely
TO. Yet IL Is all but a necessity. None
but an expert can roll an umbrella 30 that
it looks neat without a cover, and q silk
umbrella proves a very frail thing indeed
unless it Is kept encased. On the other
hand, when occasion arises TO raise the
umbrella, what to do with the cover is a
very puzzling question to q lady. A man
can stuff it In his pocket but dressmakers
don't allow pockets nowadays. II must
be carried some way, and 20 necessity in
this case has proved to be the mother of q
fashion as well as Of invention. When
the Fifth avenue girls put up their UNI
brellas they tie the cover in pretty bows
about the handles, and thus easily dis
pense with the nuisance. To carry an
umbrella without a knot Is ell dead wrong
just now. The fashion has led to the
adoption Of gayly co,ored covers, even
with plain black umbrellas. New York

Tn, Landlord Was Taken In.

IL appears that in this versatile city Of
Paris the old farce Of ''The Bitter Bit is
still frequently enacted. This is the latest
representation that l have seen recorded.
Not long ago the proprietor Of a fur
nished hotel-where rooms only are let
noticed the strange proceedings Of one Of
his dodgers. The latter remained all day
in his room, and, according to the ser
wants, spent his time bending over a cop
per plate, which he seemed to be engrav-
ing. The landlord watched and surprised
hin. Before the engraver was placed o
fifty franc note, which he seemed TO be
copying. Near by another note was lying.
1t was damp and appeared to have been
recently printed.
"What are you about, wretchf' cried
the landlord, and, while the surprised
forger was tremblingly pleading his pow
erty as an excuse for the crime, he exam
ined the wet tote and compared 1t with
the model.
''why they are splendidly donel" he
went on, in genuine surprise, and a sud
den thought took possession of his brain
cupidity mastered him.
"Why, you unhappy man, do you, with
your ability, content yourself with imi-
tating bank notes Of so small a denomina-
ton as fifty francsf"
Because ! have no larger ones to serve
as models. All! il ] only had a 1000
franc one!'
"I1l get n for you" replied the ava
ricious landlord.
The lodger laughed in his sleeve, and
soon after the accommodating master of
the house had laid the model 1000 franc
note on the shelf the supposed skilled
workman was suddenly called out on a
convenient errand to purchase chemicals
and another copper plate. Needless to
add that he has not yet returned, and,
strange to say, neither the two fifty franc
notes nor the bill Of larger denomination
a anywhere be found.-Paris Cor. New
